Guarani sit top of the Série C table with 25 points from 14 games, making this home fixture against a struggling Ypiranga side a significant opportunity to extend their lead. Ypiranga sit 15th with 16 points from 12 games, but they arrive with back-to-back wins, including a 4-1 demolition of Floresta EC in their most recent outing. The gap in league position is clear, yet Ypiranga’s recent momentum makes this more than a routine home win.
Guarani’s head coach Elio Sizenando will be aware that his side lost their last match 1-2 against Anápolis, a result that interrupted what had been a steady points run. Ypiranga’s Jeff Strasser has managed to stabilise his squad after a difficult mid-season run of consecutive defeats. To be honest, the visitors’ striker who contributed to that 4-1 win is one to watch closely, as Ypiranga carry real threat on the counter. On the home side, the creative midfielder driving Guarani’s attacking play from central areas has been central to their 28 goals in 14 league games, the highest tally in the division.
Hot stat: Guarani have scored 28 goals in just 14 Série C matches this season, averaging exactly two goals per game, the best attacking return in the entire division.

Guarani vs Ypiranga Prediction
Guarani are the clear favourites here, and the home advantage at Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa reinforces that. They top the table, lead the division in goals scored, and face an Ypiranga side that has played two fewer games and sits nine points behind. The bookmakers reflect this with Guarani priced around 1.57–1.65 across most books.
The best value bet is a Guarani win with both teams scoring. Ypiranga have shown attacking intent, scoring 17 goals in 12 games and netting four in their last match, so a clean sheet for Guarani is far from guaranteed. Guarani’s 4-4-2 setup pushes numbers forward and leaves space on the counter, which suits Ypiranga’s direct style. Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches throughout the season, and a goal-heavy fixture is well within range.
Guarani’s 4-4-2 presses high and creates volume in the final third. Ypiranga’s 5-3-2 is compact but transitions quickly, meaning Guarani’s full-backs will face pressure and fouls are likely to be frequent in the middle of the park. Both teams have been involved in physical encounters this season, so expect a steady card count and set-piece opportunities from both sides.

Team Analysis
Guarani’s season has been strong overall. Ten wins from 23 matches and a league-leading goal difference of +14 confirms they are the most consistent side in the division. Their last five results show a team capable of big wins, with a 3-1 defeat of Inter de Limeira and a 2-1 win over SER Caxias among recent highlights. The 1-2 loss to Anápolis last time out is the main concern. Anápolis sit near the bottom of the table, which makes that result a genuine slip. Guarani will be motivated to respond quickly at home.
Ypiranga have turned a corner after a damaging run of five losses in six games. They have won two of their last three, with the 4-1 win over Floresta EC the standout. Before that, a 1-0 win over Barra showed defensive organisation. The defeat to Maranhão in between was the only blemish. Their record over the last 30 days is two wins and one loss, which is a better return than Guarani’s one win and two losses in the same period. That recent form difference is worth noting when assessing the market.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Guarani the Favourite
- Moneyline Guarani 1.61 | Ypiranga 5.05
- Draw 3.56
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
Guarani’s odds in the 1.51–1.75 range across bookmakers reflect their table-topping status. The best available price of 1.75 at BetFury stands out for those backing the home win. Ypiranga at 4.40–5.60 is a wide market, and the draw at 3.45–3.80 looks overpriced given Guarani’s strong home record. The average bookmaker probability of 56% for Guarani aligns with a side that has won 7 of 14 league games and leads the standings, yet their recent dip in form means the odds are not as short as they could be.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a Guarani win with goals at both ends. Guarani’s attacking output this season is too consistent to ignore at home, and their 4-4-2 creates enough chances to overcome any defensive structure. Ypiranga’s 5-3-2 will make it compact, but their own attacking players have shown they can hurt teams on the break, as the 4-1 win over Floresta EC proved. The Série C head-to-head last season ended 2-1 to Guarani, and a similar scoreline is plausible here.
Guarani’s goal difference of +14 from 14 games is a clear indicator of their quality at both ends. Ypiranga’s -1 goal difference over 12 games tells a different story, but their recent goal-scoring form suggests they will not be passive. We predict Guarani to win, both teams to score, and over 2.5 total goals as the core bets for this fixture. Perhaps the most interesting angle is the corner market, with Guarani’s attacking width in a 4-4-2 generating consistent delivery into the box throughout the season.
